PostPosted: Sun Jan 28, 2018 10:58 pm    Post subject: comic books Reply with quote

i have been reading comic books on my gentoo till few months ago. but now qcomicbook shows nothing when i open a cbr file. i installed comix to check, and it's the same. i can see statusbars loading progress, and then statusbar shows filename. i tried opening some of my older cbr files, and it's the same. unrar is installed, which should be sufficient.

i can open and read cbz files.

Code:
$ man qcomicbook
       3. Archives handling

       Archived comic books are decompressed to temporary directory (/tmp/qcomicbook-XXXXX, with XXXXX being some random number). This directory is purged when closing current comic book, opening a new  one
       or quitting QComicBook.


after i open the comicbook, i can see the tmp directory, and sxiv can read all those jpg files in there.

as i said in op, i had no problems with cbz. but i just tested and i seem to be having issues with cbz too.

i have just installed mcomix to test. mcomix gives these error messages.
Code:
14:29:09 [MainThread] WARNING: subprocess32 not available! using subprocess
14:29:09 [MainThread] WARNING: czipfile not available! using zipfile

do you know what these mean?

i think python(2.7) is always required on all gentoo systems.

Code:
$ $ eselect python list
Available Python interpreters, in order of preference:
  [1]   python2.7
  [2]   python3.5
  [3]   python3.4


qcomicbook *was* working well for me
